I was recently given Cheratussin AC for cough. On the side of the bottle, It says that the syrup is available without a prescription and the medicine was manufactured in the state I live in. I thought it was a sample or something but then I looked it up and it has codeine in it. Surely this stuff isn't available over the counter, is it??

I have had been subscribed Cheratussin AC Syrup back in 02/21/08. From time to time i ocassionally get a chest cold and still have the bottle in my posesion and would use this couph syrup so i can sleep better at night. I am in search for work and found a job with better opportunities, during several interviews, finally i was hired and was asked to take a drug test. With no hessitation i quickly went to take the exam. Before the test I was having a chest cold and decided to take the couph syrup prescribed by my doctor back in February of this year, be in mind that i did not realize that the prescribed medication named Cheratussin AC syrup contains codeine, later the same week i get a call from the lab stating that I showed up possitive on my drug test and they asked if i have taken any medication? I quickly stated that yes the night before I took a couph syrup prescribed to me back in February 2008 and had given them the doctors name and prescription number and the pharmacy where i got my medication. I though no big deal. My question is.. Why would this medication show up positive on a drug test and what would be the procedures of a company who is hiring a new employee. Someone please help?

I am currently taking Chertusiin AC syrup for extreme coughing due to a bad case of bronchitis. I have not had a good nights sleep for the past 3 nights since the coughing worsens at night. There are no other cough medications that seems to work. This is helping.

I was given the CHERATUSSIN AC SYRUP to control my cough and help me sleep. The dosage was 5cc and it did nothing for me at that dosage except build false hope. OTC Nyquil worked better for getting me some sleep. I'm going to try a double dosage as soon as I'm done grousing here....grrrrrr.

Cyndi, yes. I was prescribed this for sever cough/cold. Was told to take 1-2 teaspoons every 4 hours but I have had to take 4 teaspoons every 4 hours to start to get relief. I'm going to call the doctor for a stronger dose or something else. It works, just in higher doses for me.

I've taken it 2xs now & have sharp/severe pain in my stomach & also my bck???? I've had tuxxinex (sp?) b4 with broncitis & that didn't do this crap! Even the grapey tasting syrup doesn't do it either. While I've found grape syrup not as great on cough but the thick fruity tasting tuxxinex is good (just abit stronger when I took 1st time I was cocky about it thought it couldn't be that strong..umm wrong!! Kicked my butt! It did wrk though!
Has any1 else had such a pain stomach or back when u took this Chertussin AC?? If so please post...thanks.

I have been perscribed Cheritussin AC and for those whom are having Stomach or back pains it's due to the opiate within the medicine (codeine) Most pharmacies should label the script with Drink plenty of water with this medicine Which helps avoid the cramps in your back and stomach. Also taking it with a glass of milk for the more sensitive stomachs will help as well. Almost the same precautions as you would do with any other opiate drug. Also be safe taking more than perscribed as it can cause problems breathing for some people.

I received Cheratussin AC syrup due to a bad cough from bronchitis. I have experienced the sharp stomach aches and back pains, and was not sure why my back hurt but now know to drink lots of water with it. My doctor told me it would knock me out and give me a good nights rest...I'm sleeping worse than I was before I started taking it. It has given me insomnia and it's really getting frustrating.
